Fifth of working parents report unfair treatment during...
Daily MailOne in five working families believe they have been treated less fairly at work because of their childcare responsibilities during the virus crisis, new research suggests. Work-life balance charity Working Families said its survey of 746 working parents found those working part-time are more likely to feel they have been treated differently since the start of the pandemic. Many parents have had to juggle working from home with childcare responsibilities 'With millions of parents facing unfair treatment at work just for having caring responsibilities, and waves of Covid-related redundancies around the corner, now is the time for the Government to act and make being a parent or carer a protected characteristic.' The YouGov poll commissioned by the charity asked working parents whether they agree with the following statement: 'I have felt treated less fairly at work because of my childcare responsibilities' since the Covid-19 outbreak in the UK began.
